Welcome to “Art Fusion”, a brand new summer issue celebrating the diversity of artistic expression and human creativity in a visually compelling and transcendent package, brimming with vivid and exclusive images as well as amazing multimedia articles.

“Art Fusion” is an eclectic, state-of-the-art issue paying tribute to the fascinating and enthralling world of both visual and performing arts, scheduled to be launched on July 5th, 2014 in the picturesque city of Byblos, Lebanon; we can’t wait for this exciting presentation.

The cover story of this issue features an exclusive interview and photo shoot with Italian performing arts icon and prima ballerina Carla Fracci, a principal guest artist with American Ballet Theater from 1967 until her retirement. We also bring you fascinating success stories from some of the most inspiring and talented artists in the world — the famous Argentine painter Fabian Perez, Russian Pop Art celebrity Ludmilla Radchenko, and Italian performing artist Elckjaer Franco Bono.

In our travel article, we journey to Byblos, Lebanon (the only city visited regularly by Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando) and we also share with you some astonishing images from Dor Habonim Beach Nature Reserve in Israel, brought to you by fine art photographer Jamal Kiwan.

We are excited to bring to you this issue boasting guaranteed maximum exposure through unparalleled media coverage and worldwide access that allows our advertisers, artists and collaborators to profitably reach their target market audiences.

Thanks for your support!
